MC2 Audio Ltd. Gets Clubs Hopping

Two new dance clubs now use MC2 Audio Ltd.’s E45 switchmode amplifier, including South Beach, Fla.’s Nocturnal and Dayton, Ohio’s Masque.

“Nocturnal is a truly amazing sound system installation in a truly amazing club,” comments Dean McNaughton, club co-owner, whose partner is Dan Agne of Sound Investment (Chicago). Opened in mid-March, Nocturnal features eight MC2 E45 amplifiers powering a massive Funktion-One sound system. “They wanted the best sound system in Miami and they got it,” says McNaughton, noting that the power from the E45 amplifiers easily covers all three levels and the rooftop garden at Nocturnal. “Considering the lengths to which they were willing to go with this multimillion-dollar club, the E45 was the only real choice.”

Masque, which opened in late 2004, had a requirement for high output and absolutely no distortion. “The sound system had to match the lighting and design of this place, which is as good as anything you’ll see on the coasts or even in Europe,” remarks McNaughton. “This is a world-class club and it has world-class sound, powered by the E45.”
